identified as an ideal candidate for the *UC Washington Center (UCDC)
program*. We are reaching out with a special invitation to apply for the *Fall
2026 cohort.*

The UCDC program is designed for students who seek to bridge the gap
between high-level classroom theory and real-world impact. As a
high-achieving student, you are uniquely positioned to secure some of the
most competitive internships in the nation’s capital—from federal agencies
and prestigious think tanks to international NGOs and the halls of Congress.
Why UCDC for High Achievers?

   candidate for placements that require rigorous research and analytical
   skills.
   - *Academic Synergy: *Earn UC credit while conducting high-level work
   that complements your major and honors curriculum.
   - *A National Network: *Build a professional network in D.C. that will
   serve you throughout your graduate studies and future career.

Your Path to D.C.

While the program minimum is a 2.7 GPA, your demonstrated commitment to
excellence suggests you would thrive in the fast-paced, intellectual
environment of Washington.

   - *Priority Deadline: *February 28
   - *Final Deadline: *April 15
